About the Guest:

Tanya Pluth learned to consciously select and work with crystals and stones while apprenticing for 8 years with a shaman, pairing stones as tools for healing, ceremony, and sacred purposes. Tanya applies her musical training and “ear” when pairing people with stones, utilizing a core aspect of her intuitive abilities: “hearing” energies and information through subtle vibration and resonance. Tanya offers consultations for those seeking to find crystals and stones of unique quality and power. Grove of Stones’ crystals and minerals come from sustainable sources, with Tanya digging her own material whenever possible. Where she is unable to travel to dig her own crystals, Tanya chooses suppliers whose practices align with her commitment to sustainability and sacred-handling.

In addition to her work with crystals and stones, Tanya offers workshops, spiritual counseling, and energetic healing for people, spaces, and pets. Tanya began studying spirituality and healing arts in the 1990s and has worked as a teacher/healer for over 15 years drawing from her studies in Buddhism, Shamanism, and Druidry. Tanya’s initiation became official in the winter of 2013, when welcoming the sunrise in company with 8 snowy owls. The whole story is available at Tanya’s spirituality and nature photography blog, Urbane Wild (www.urbanewild.com).

As a writer and musician, Tanya’s work explores issues of spirituality, identity, and difference. Her self-produced CD, Saving Graces, was nominated for 4 Pride in the Arts awards, including Song of the Year. Tanya’s life-long study of music supported her healing gifts, as the energy of music and the energies of healing are one and the same.

About the Guest:

Mani Pureheart is an “ordinary” person who was suddenly and unexpectedly awakened by Spirit in April of 1987. A non-believer and non-seeker, his first impression upon hearing voices in his head was that he was going crazy. The voices, which he now refers to as “Spirit” – the Creator in its many forms – informed him that he was going to be taught healing and spirituality.

A lifelong omnivorous reader, Mani was told by Spirit that it alone would teach him for the first year and that it would block any attempt on his part to acquire this knowledge anywhere but from Spirit itself. After that time, Spirit said, he could go to any source, read any book, and follow any teacher that he might wish. As the year progressed, the reason for this method became clear. As Spirit explained it, no matter how well intentioned the author, anyone who attempts to put spiritual teachings into words slants them to align more with their own hopes, fears, and expectations. By teaching Mani directly, the message was given and received in a more pure form. Try as he might, Mani was totally unable to read even the most basic book on spirituality for a full year. At the completion of the year, Mani had no need or desire to seek any teacher but his own heart and his connection with All that IS. Indeed, he is widely recognized today as “a teacher’s teacher, a healer’s healer and a psychic’s psychic”.

Mani has “died” several separate times from different causes, has undergone the entire out-of-body near-death and through the tunnel of Light experience more than once and has returned to this plane a humbled, changed and gifted person who is totally dedicated to healing and service.

Mani is widely regarded as one of the most powerful spiritual teachers and effective, insightful psychic healers and medical intuitives of today. His ability to accurately perceive the workings of the spirit, mind and body is so well developed that in some instances he picks up trouble areas that are not currently a problem or that the client is unaware of until they reflect on their life patterns.

Miraculous healings are a part of Mani’s everyday life.

PART II: ACTION STEPS

Join Deana and I for a deeper conversation about trusting your energy field, plus get Deana’s Energy guidebook and lot’s of tips to use right away.

Contemplate and journal on the following questions:

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • What’s mine?
  • What’s not mine?
  • What’s my intention?
  • What’s our intention?
  • What’s the intention of the work that needs to come through?
  • What are you not doing that really needs to be done?

If things aren’t manifesting as you’d like try the following

  • If you usually do what feels better, try doing what feels scary instead.
  • Of the things that feel scary to do – tune into the subtlety between super scary and not right for you versus really scary and is right for you

Exercise:

  1. Close your eyes and shake out your shoulders
  2. Feel the chair below you
  3. Take a deep breath and feel centered in your body
  4. Say high frequency words:
    • YES! Love, joy, peace, freedom, gratitude, ease
  5. Feel where your energy goes in your body
    • Where do you feel it most?
  6. Say low frequency words:
    • NO, hatred, anger, grief, anxiety
  7. Again, feel where your energy goes in your body
    • Where do you feel it most?
  8. Ask a question you’d like an answer to
  9. Does the sensations in your body feel expansive or contracted + tight?

Are you feeling a lack of replenishment or support?

Receiving comes from the back of your body and energy system. Creating goes out through the front of the body.

  1. Check the energy bubble around you
  2. Intuitively sense if the energy is balanced front and back
  3. Sense if your energy is balanced left and right
  4. Set the intention to envision receiving the abundance through the back of your body and into your energy system
